2024 Audi A6 e-tron Spied Testing at the Nurburgring Ahead of Reveal

Car Spy Media captured the 2024 Audi A6 e-tron at the iconic track, previewing the super-stylish, all-electric sedan.

The 2024 Audi A6 e-tron has been spied testing at various locations around the globe recently, which means that we’re getting ever-closer to an official reveal for the latest all-electric stunner in the brand’s portfolio full of them. Now, Car Spy Media has spotted a 2024 Audi A6 e-tron prototype taking some hot laps at the iconic Nurburgring, giving us an even better look at this stylish machine showing off its impressive – albeit silent – performance.

Riding on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform co-developed by Porsche and Audi, the A6 e-tron will share its underpinnings with the upcoming Macan EV, though it will also compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan and the Tesla Model S. A traditional mid-size sedan accessible to a wider berth of buyers, the A6 e-tron looks much like the concept that preceded it, at least from what we can tell given the fact that it’s completely covered in heavy camo.

Details regarding the new A6 e-tron’s powertrain remain a bit of a mystery, though the concept was powered by a pair of electric motors churning out a combined 470 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which drive all four wheels. That’s enough to propel the sedan from a standstill to 62 miles-per-hour in less than four seconds.

The A6 e-tron concept also utilizes a 100 kilowatt-hour battery that provides up to 435 miles of range on a single charge, though that’s using Europe’s notoriously optimistic WLTP cycle, so we can expect a bit less than that when the EPA gets its hands on the stylish new model. Charging should at least be brisk, as the concept’s 270 kilowatt fast-charging system can reportedly add 186 miles of range in just 10 minutes.

Set to go on sale in 2023 as a 2024 model year vehicle, the A6 e-tron figures to be an interesting addition to the brand’s EV lineup, and one that should prove quite attractive to buyers that are looking for something a bit more traditional and perhaps even more stylish than the Model S, as well as a proper alternative to the very similar EQE.
